Free Weekly Webinar: UV Safety in the Workplace

Ensure safe use, regulatory compliance, and peace of mind when using UV light at work.

This practical, expert-led webinar is designed for organisations that use (or are planning to use) UV light processes and want clear, confident guidance on managing risk and meeting legal obligations.

Why attend?

UV related incidents and non-compliance are far more common than many organisations realise. In most cases, issues arise not from negligence, but from gaps in understanding, unclear responsibilities, or assumptions about equipment safety.

This session will help you:

  • Understand your duties under EU Directive 2006/25/EC and the Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010
  • Identify health risks to skin and eyes from UV exposure
  • Understand when exposure limits may be exceeded, and what to do if they are
  • Gain clarity on risk assessment, control measures, and worker training
  • Feel confident that UV can be used safely, effectively, and compliantly

Who is this webinar for?

This webinar is ideal for:

  • Organisations introducing a new UV light process
  • Businesses already using UV and unsure whether they are compliant
  • Managers or engineers responsible for safe use of UV equipment
  • Health & safety professionals and consultants
  • Operators concerned about their personal exposure to UV light

No prior specialist knowledge is required.

What we’ll cover

During this session, we will walk through:

  • What ultraviolet light is and its uses
  • Common artificial UV sources
  • Health effects of overexposure
  • Statutory Exposure Limit Values (ELVs)
  • Employer responsibilities under UK and EU regulations
  • Risk assessment, measurement, and exposure management
  • Eliminating or reducing exposure using engineering, administrative controls, and PPE

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to identify the practical actions needed to ensure safe use and legal compliance in your organisation.
